There is also a comment by comint-use-prompt-regexp (also present in 21.3):

;; Note: If it is decided to purge comint-prompt-regexp from the source
;; entirely, searching for uses of this variable will help to identify
;; places that need attention.

I presume use of comint-prompt-regexp preceded the use of fields.
Perhaps this should be purged as there's no need to use two methods and this
would reduce the maintenance overhead.
